Re: [9front] System not up to date / in sync with repo after "sysupdate"

[alex <alex9-ml@proton.me>]

Hello moody, 

is there any way I could find out or narrow down the cause? Would it be possible to boot from USB with a nightly build, copy /dist/plan9front/.git from there to another USB drive and copy it from there to the local install? (I would like to avoid a new installation if this phenomenon occurs.)

Thank you and best regards, 
Alex

Maybe I should stick with Intel to learn and switch to ARM64 / RISC-V when I halfway know what I'm doing.. Many thanks again and best regards, Alex
